People Under The Stairs - Left Foot, Right Foot

Champion EP

Champion Remix

Since debuting on the scene in 2008, Sa-Roc has continually proven to be a force to reckoned with and respected amongst her peers. In many ways, the music video for “Eye of the Phoenix” is a metaphor for the approach to her craft. The video, starts off in an unassuming environment, surrounded by the beauty of nature, leaving those who are unfamiliar not knowing what to expect. But, once Sa-Roc starts to rhyme, she immediately becomes the center of attention, displaying mastery levels of wordplay, flow, and confidence. Gensu Dean, a longtime master of Boom-Bap grimy beats, supplies the musical foundation, courtesy his trusty MPC 3000, which proves to be a perfect combination for Sa-Roc’s microphone dominance.

“Eye of the Phoenix” is the first single from Sa-Roc’s brand new mixtape, “Metamorpheus", which is available for  free now http://bit.ly/MetaMorpheus. Whether you are already a Sa-Roc fan or unfamiliar with her work, “Metamorpheus” is true testament to her skill, as well as her growth as an artist. 

Although “Metamorpheus” makes a strong statement on its own, it’s only a taste of what’s to come from Sa-Roc’s upcoming official album release on Rhymesayers Entertainment. Stay tuned and connected:

LYRICS: 
Enter the- 5 foot shawty from the barrio. Longest running hero in the game super Mario. Every 2 sets of 8 bars from Sa-Roc got em sprinting to the studio, it's time to get this cardio. I'm synonymous with iconic- it's just a part of being rap Pharoah, building pyramids and obelisks. Armored letters spew from out the bottom of my consciousness, turning rap stars to old hacks-that's anonymous. U don't get it? Check your Twitter feed or your literacy. Diamonds out this African mind enrich u lyrically. Every line formed from the pressure to be the greatest, now I'm spitting out jewels that's semi precious Gabby Sidibe. Hope I could change the face of hiphop in my lifetime, or I'll be forced to sever several Mcs lifelines. Cuz I developed into veteran organically,and y'all eating up all this GMO rap-the vanilla ice kind. They told me I would bring em back to life-soul II soul. Showed up and had the fans attracted like opposing poles. Roc cook up all this dope shit in the lab, then watch the freshest cats expire after the first hit, overdose. Prolific with my verbal illustration, basquiat. Bars like a beautiful prayer- Al Fatiha. I'm a Washington D.C. Marvel in Atlantis, and em both together made me supernatural. Pretty lil Loch Ness Monster, appeared from out of nowhere in a cloud of nag champa. Launching atoms out the gates of my esophagus. Forming universes out the base of my superior subconscious Mind. I'm inclined to be reborn like the Pheonix is, when every track I blaze invades your double helixes. Imbed the label on your genes like a brand name, now everybody know Sa-Roc the standard of what a genius is.

One of the biggest surprises in rediscovering the Dynospectrum reel-to-reel tapes was finding a previously unreleased verse from Slug on “Tenfold”, arguably one of the album's best songs. 
While the version that was originally released on the album featured Slug on the hook, it was only I Self Devine and Mr. Gene Poole who had verses. On the original recording, however, Slug ended the song with an excellent verse, as well as some additional commentary to bring the song to a close. Although we've asked, no one seems to recall why the decision was made to release this song without the Slug verse. Now, 20 years later, we are finally hearing this song the way it was originally recorded, for the very first time.

In addition to finding that little surprise, “Tenfold” is also a great example of when re-mixing and remastering a project makes a clear sonic difference. Listening to this new mix compared to the original brings new life to the song, amplifying the textures and the intensity while maintaining its beautifully haunting essence.

As the Rhymesayers Entertainment classic, The Dynospectrum, approaches its 20th anniversary, we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate this milestone than to announce we're finally releasing the full-length album on vinyl for the first time ever!

We dug through the basement archives and unearthed the original reel-to-reel recordings. After blowing off the dust, we transferred the audio and sent it back to mixing, making sure that every eerie note and skull-snapping snare sounded crisp before it was fully remastered, truly bringing the darkness to light.

For those unaware, The Dynospectrum is a long-standing fan favorite in the RSE discography. The short-lived supergroup was comprised of MC's Slug (Atmosphere), Musab, I Self Devine (Micranots), and Mr. Gene Poole and was produced entirely by Ant.

The Dynospectrum 20th anniversary edition includes 3xLP vinyl pressed on black & cream side A/B effect records, with an illustrated 8-panel accordion fold-out poster, all housed in a gatefold jacket with original artwork re-touched by the brilliant visual artist Aaron Horkey.

This special release also includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks recorded during the original studio sessions, plus a free digital download card that also includes the album instrumentals (also made available here for the first time ever!)

The Dynospectrum 20th anniversary vinyl hits shelves May 4th. Pre-order yours now! Limited edition Dynospectrum T-shirts and hooded sweatshirts also available to bundle with your pre-order, so don't miss out!

As a special offer, pre-order The Dynospectrum 20th Anniversary LP now for only $29.99! (Upon release, list price increases to $34.99)

LYRICS:
If I could get a taste of my freedom, I would savor every tidbit. Pilot planes like I was Tuskegee. The flyest letterman, call me collegiate. That’s why I get violent on these mics can turn a (Turner) phrase like Ike and Tina, stories bloodied and beaten so well, we’re calling em Red Tales(Tails). How convenient. Facts-The struggle I know left physical scars as lasting proof. Mommy and Pops residual trauma pushed them to bottles Absolut.  Homie, that 90s era was Rocky, had to be sly and outfox the coop. Everyone knows a rose can grow from cracks but most don’t blossom fruit. So my lyrical watts like miracle drops. BB, I’m Posdnuos. That’s De La-from the soul. I’m undersold and over hip-hop to boot. They worship green like God, got bands to ear like radios top 10 grooves. My samples clear, I push gems like DeBeers. No conflict, just the truth.  See, I’m the plug. I’m giving the people the power, try not to blow out the fuse. I’m so close to these lower and upper cases that I guess that it’s best I recuse. Telling me I need to party and bullshit to win. Well then Homie I guess imma lose. Ain’t no biggie, I’m black obsidian. Rap’s new Gideon.  Summon the troops. Roc.

I’m turning over a new leaf. 
Same life with a new lease.
Game time, different frame of mind. 
Hit the lab up like a 2 piece. 
I ain’t a fan of the fame, y’all keep the bread and the groupies.
 I just want a group of loyal fam, and if I win, bet the crew eats. My god. 
This a stress free zone. 
This the best freedom.
I just want a group of loyal fam, and if I win, bet the crew eats. My god.
This a stress free zone. This the best freedom.
 I’m just tryna elevate. Ya dig?

They wasn’t feeling that space shit. Told em I was on another level. They said they only investing in fauna and flora, like pussy and flower petals. Pardon my tongue but I grew up building with gods and sparring with horny devils. You rumble with dogs you come up with fleas and potty mouths trying to blacken the kettle. I am not an island, hold up the diaspora with my limbs. Fuck up the system with this atypical gab, some Converse and nylons. I am the calm version of a storm brewing. I’m a monsoon in Thailand.  And if my Black fist and my womb irks you, here’s the worlds smallest violin. Check it.

I’m turning over a new leaf. 
Same life with a new lease.
Game time, different frame of mind. 
Hit the lab up like a 2 piece. 
I ain’t a fan of the fame, y’all keep the bread and the groupies.
 I just want a group of loyal fam, and if I win, bet the crew eats. My god. 
This a stress free zone. 
This the best freedom.
I just want a group of loyal fam, and if I win, bet the crew eats. My god.
This a stress free zone. This the best freedom.
 I’m just tryna elevate. Ya dig?
